HON'BLE DR. PATANGRAO KADAM

Founder, Bharati Vidyapeeth
Chancellor, Bharati Vidyapeeth University, Pune

I am trying to reach you through this small booklet, in which we have presented a brief profile of our institutions, Bharati Vidyapeeth and Bharati Vidyapeeth University.

I established Bharati Vidyapeeth which is the parent body of our University in 1964 to make higher education available to all those who are desirous of getting it. I also visualized that social transformation could be brought about through the medium of dynamic education. Bharati Vidyapeeth, thus, is an institution of higher education with a social commitment.

At Bharati Vidyapeeth, we are trying to give the best and up-to-date education to our students, through our colleges, where excellent academic facilities are provided. The faculty is student oriented and motivated to impart quality education. It is because of the high academic excellence which our institutions have achieved over the years that some of them together have been granted the status of University by the University Grants Commission and the Government of India.

There are quite a few young people who have no access to the higher education. In order to reach the unreached, our University has launched need based educational programmes, through distance mode of learning. It is through School of Distance Education, we aim at reducing the distance between the learner and the University.

I hope, you will be one of those fortunate students who would get an admission to one of our programmes. My best wishes to you for your successful career.
